Thanks, Geoff.

or Dow Blueboard insulation, with R-10 insulation value to insulate our “Severe
Duty” crates. You could additionally line the inner case with Marvelseal or a
similar reflective liner – household “Space blanket” insulators reflect better
than 95% of radiant energy in BOTH directions. From a reliable source,
I also understand that pink board and blue board have passed Oddy
tests. Also, if you’re short
on time or suppliers, both Ethafoam and Ester polyurethane foam have very
similar insulation value to pink board and blue board. Foamcore would likely
also work well, better than Plexiglas, which being denser would be more of a
conductor than an insulator. Geoff From:
pacinlist-bounces@pacin.org [mailto:pacinlist-bounces@pacin.org] On Behalf Of Hinson, Richard I'm looking
for information about making climate-control boxes for traveling a small
painting on wood panel. Have any of you out there ever used plexiglass
boxes that can be sealed as inner boxes when shipping delicate art? Is there an
advantage to using plexiglass over 1/2 inch thick corrugated plastic? Are there
better materials to use other than these? Richard
